Somebody should do the Frank Gore story, because it s an awesome story. He s a guy that really deserves all the credit. The way he s worked. He s so astute on so many fronts, and a guy that makes his life, changes his life, impacts other people in a positive way. He s a team guy, he s a great football player, and he s got a big heart, most of all that s what I like about Frank. He s just enjoyable to be around. He works his tail off. I love his work ethic. 49ers Head Coach Jim Harbaugh Gore broke RB Joe Perry s franchise record of 20 career 100-yd. games after registering his 21st career 100-yd. rus. performance against NO (9/20/10).

SHINING STAR I don t know if I ve been around an athlete that s more explosive than him at any point of my career. Vernon is very explosive. He can go from zero to sixty when he needs to. He can rev up the engine in a hurry. Vernon is a great person, great to work with, very attentive, very much interested in the details of things, always looking for the ways to get better. Just an all around asset to have and really enjoy, really thankful that he s here and a 49er.

HITTING HIS MARK After two weeks running Jim Harbaugh s West Coast Offense, QB Alex Smith has been consistently on target with his passes. A vital part of the WCO is precision-timed passing and Smith has been capitalizing on that aspect. Through the first two games, Smith compiled a 75% completion percentage in Week 1 vs. Sea. (9/11/11) and a 66.7 % total in Week 2 vs. Dal. (9/18/11), marking the 1st time since 11/12/06 at Det. (70.0%) and 11/19/06 vs. Sea.

It s just talking about the chemistry, said Davis. When I first got here, it was getting to know Alex and trying to figure him out and getting to know who he really was. I think we ve come a long way as far as the chemistry. Since Davis was drafted in the first round of the 2006 NFL Draft, he has always been a favorite target of Smith s. In 38 games with Smith at the helm, Davis has recorded 140 recepts. for 1,772 yds. and 20 TDs. In 38 games with another QB, he only has 103 recepts. for 1,243 yds. and 9 TDs.

Currently in his 5th season in the NFL, LB Patrick Willis has accumulated the following accolades - 4 Pro Bowl appearances, 3 All-Pro selections, 2 NFL Alumni Linebacker of the Year Awards and NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year. This year his teammates have already named him a 2011 team captain. On May 5, 2010, the 49ers and arguably the game s best defensive player agreed on a 5-year contract extension, ensuring that he will be donning the Red & Gold through the 2016 season. We will bring the sixth championship back here and I m just thankful today to know that I will be able to be here to do that, said Willis. Willis Career Highlights: All-Pro honors in 2007 as he was named the AP Defensive Rookie of the Year. He became first 49ers defensive rookie to make the Pro Bowl and first-team All-Pro since CB Ronnie Lott in 1981. He joined CB Bruce Taylor (1970), DT Dana Stubblefield (1993) and DT Bryant Young (1994) as 49ers who have won the Defensive Rookie of the Year award. career sacks. since 2007. 20-or-more stops in 4 contests.

There s a lot of different leaders, said Willis, whether it s vocal, whether it s physical, but I ve always been the type of person I won t ask you to do something that I can t do. I won t get on you for something that I won t do myself. I will speak at times, when it s necessary, but I don t believe in talking just because you can. I believe in doing it the right way. I respect them as I want those guys to respect me. If it s necessary, then yes, I will. And vice versa. Willis plays the game with a fury and a passion that no one can match. His determination to work harder than everybody else day in and day out has been noticed by people throughout the NFL. If he stays on the path that he s on right now, he will land in the Hall of Fame, said NBC analyst Cris Collinsworth. In my opinion, I think he s going to be on the best to play the game with his size, strength and speed combination and how he plays the game, said Minnesota Vikings RB Adrian Peterson. He s got that deadly sting. I love Patrick Willis. I love the way he plays ball. He plays ball just like me. He s the best defensive player in the league at his position - not to take anything away from Ray Lewis; I think eventually he will be better than Ray Lewis. I think we play the game with the same passion. He s a freak. He s 245, (runs a) 4.3. He s a perfect prototype for a linebacker. And to think Willis is only 26 years old and just finished his fourth season in the league. People think they ve seen the best I ve had to offer and they haven t by far, said Willis. There so much more improvement in my game that I have to get to and I m willing to work every day to get to that point, but the best is yet to be seen, by myself or my teammates or this team in general.

In 2010, Smith s effort was recognized as he was the recipient of the team s Hazeltine Iron Man Award and the Ed Block Courage Award. He does a lot of things well, said New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick of Smith. He s quick. He s got a real good motor. He comes hard all the time. A lot of the times, you see the start of the play and think that he s not going to be a factor on the play, but he outworks his opponent. He hustles to the ball, makes plays off the backside and makes plays on the second and third effort spinning out of blocks and coming off of blocks late.

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 11 SEATTLE 17, SAN FRANCISCO 33 CANDLESTICK PARK The 49ers opened up the 2011 season with a 33-17 victory over the defending NFC West Division champion Seattle Seahawks, on the 10th anniversary of 9/11. After a scoreless 1st qtr., the 49ers got on the board with a 27-yd. FG by K David Akers, his first of four FGs on the afternoon. On the ensuing Sea. possession, LB Parys Haralson sacked and stripped Seahawks QB Tarvaris Jackon. The ball landed in the hands of DT Will Tukuafu, who registered his first-career FR on his first-career play from scrimmage. Four plays later, Akers tacked on his 2nd FG, giving the 49ers a 6-0 lead. After a 3-n-out stop by the 49ers defense, one of six on the day, QB Alex Smith drove the 49ers into the red zone, only to come away with Akers 3rd FG. After a Seahawks punt, Smith and the offense took over from the Sea. 49 yd. line with 1:44 remaining in the half. The calm and steady Smith completed 4 of 4 pass atts. in the 2-minute drive and capped it off with a 1-yd. TD run, his first since 2006, to give SF a 16-0 halftime lead. The Seahawks responded on their first possession of the third qtr., marching down the field on a 9 play, 56 yd. drive and a 8-yd. TD pass from Jackson to WR Golden Tate, cutting the 49ers lead to 16-7. Sea. added a 39-yd. FG by K Steven Hauschka on the first play of the 4th qtr., making the score 16-10. The 49ers answered with a 15-play, 72 yd. drive that took over 9 minutes off the clock before Akers nailed his 4th FG, making the score 19-10. On the Seahawks next drive, Jackson found rookie WR Doug Baldwin for a 55-yd. TD recept., making it a one score game with just under 4 minutes to play. On the ensuing kickoff, WR Ted Ginn Jr. saw a hole and raced down the sideline for a 102-yd. kickoff return for a TD, the 49ers first KOR for a TD since 2008. The 49ers defense forced another Seahawks punt 59 seconds later and Ginn fielded the punt on his own 45 yd. line, found a crease, and darted for the end zone, sealing the game. Ginn became the 12 player in NFL history and the first in 49ers history to return a kickoff and a punt for a TD in same game. NOTES: Head Coach Jim Harbaugh became the 6th 49ers head coach to win the season opener in his first year as head coach. He is just the 4th coach to do so at home.

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 18 DALLAS 27, SAN FRANCISCO 24 (OT) CANDLESTICK PARK San Francisco s regime led by Jim Harbaugh and his new but experienced staff, entered the historic rivalry match against the Dallas Cowboys with something to prove at Candlestick Park. The 49ers started off as they had hoped, scoring 2 first-half TDs and blanking America s Team, but big pass plays late in the game would ultimately cause the Niners to fall short as they were edged 27-24 in overtime. Dallas opened the 1st qtr. marching down the field, but came up short after a failed 21-yd. FG attempt by K Dan Bailey. After exchanging the next couple of possessions, QB Alex Smith led the Niners on a 68-yd. drive, capped off by a 1-yd. TD by RB Frank Gore in the 2nd qtr. The 49ers front seven played strong, swarming and stopping the run, allowing Smith and the Niners to regain possession to take a 14-0 lead. The 12-yd. throw from Smith marked the first TD of WR Kyle Williams career and the team s first passing TD of 2011. QB Tony Romo and the Cowboys answered before the half on a 71-yd. drive, capped off by a 53-yd. TD slant to WR Miles Austin, making it a one score game heading into the half. Dallas lost its starting QB for a brief stretch in the 3rd qtr., when it appeared Romo s rib injury occurring on the 3rd play of the game had become too much of a hindrance. Backup QB Jon Kitna started the 3rd qtr. and threw a tying TD pass and 2 INTs in relief. Displaying good ball skills and awareness, CB Tramaine Brock came up with his 2nd INT of the season in as many weeks, reacting to a Kitna tipped pass and coming up with the turnover. Smith and the 49ers took advantage of the Cowboys turnover with a deep pass down the right sideline to TE Delanie Walker for 29 yds. and the go-ahead TD entering the 4th qtr. K David Akers connected on a 55-yd. FG, marking the longest FG in Candlestick Park history, and the Niners built up a 10-pt. cushion. The Cowboys charged back from the 24-14 deficit when Romo hit Austin for a leaping 25-yd. TD, and then directed a 10-play, 44-yd. drive in the final 4 minutes that ended with an overtime-forcing, 48-yd. field goal. After the Cowboys defense forced a punt on the 49ers first OT drive, Romo found backup WR Jesse Holley in stride for a 77-yd. gain that set up 19-yd. game-winning FG. NOTES: The 49ers defense held the Cowboys to 7 yds. rushing (9 atts.) in the 1st half. The 7 yds. allowed tie for the fewest rush. yds. yielded in the 1st half by the 49ers since 12/18/95 vs. Min.
